Saxe-Coburg-Gotha

The Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was a German duchy located in Bavaria and Thuringia in central Germany from 1826 to 1918. The state was ruled by the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and it replaced the state of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld when Duke Ernest I of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha renamed the new state. The state would become a part of the German Empire in 1871, and it existed until the November Revolution of 1918, when it became a part of the Weimar Republic.
